Also-1: i have provided the release binaries in maven layout.
Should we provided other packagings ?
While I can see how we can live with mostly just having these .jar
releases these days (as weird as this maven 2 thing still feels to
me, when I learned release management, installing javadocs offline
was still important :-)), I do thing we should provide *some* sort of
source release. Even if its just
cd excalibur/trunk/buildsystem

(just made this up on the spot; not tested). Does that make sense to
you?
Please cast your votes.
+1 from me.
On the release notes...
Here's two jira shared filters y'all should be able to see:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?
mode=hide&requestId=12311589
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?
mode=hide&requestId=12311590
there just isn't much there; I wouldn't bother with making release
notes out of them. Instead, below is me spitting through two years of
our SVN logs...
cheers!

Excalibur-r50771-20070214 release notes

This is a backwards-compatible maintainance release of all maintained
excalibur.apache.org
software, including packages formerly part of the avalon.apache.org
project:
avalon-framework, avalon-logkit, and avalon-cornerstone.
This is the first set of new excalibur releases since August 29, 2005.
The binary version of the distribution takes the form of a maven2-
structured jar repository.
The main change has been a complete repackaging to work well with
maven2-structured builds.
All version numbers of all components have been bumped significantly
to reflect the new
structure.
